(Clearwisdom.net) Li Xinqi, male, 60 years old, was a villager from the 5th
group of Changhe Village, Fangping Township, Guangan District in Guangan City,
Sichuan Province. The local police
persecuted all four members of the Li Xinqi family because they persisted in cultivating Dafa. Li Xinqi was tortured to
death on April 18, 2002.

Li Xinqi was a well-known good man who began practicing Dafa in April 1998.
After he began practicing Dafa, he became more and more kind and his body became
stronger and stronger. However, in July 1999, the persecution of Falun Dafa
began. Li Xinqi did not want to cooperate with the evil, to lie or renounce his
belief in Dafa. So on July 22, 2001, the local police department arrested all
four of his family members, including his wife Chen Shibi, daughter Li Tianrong,
son Li Tianguo and himself, and illegally detained them in the Guangan District
Detention Center. The police also ransacked his home and took away all
valuables. During the over one-year detention period, Li Xinqi, who was 60 years
old at the time, became more emaciated by the day. His whole body became
swollen, and excreted a yellow bodily fluid. On April 18, 2002, Li
Xinqi passed away. Unbelievably, even after his death the village and township
government officials went to Li Xinqi's home to extort money.

The citizens from Fangping Township/Guangan District are very sympathetic to
Li Xinqi and his family's suffering, and they are very angry at the vicious
police and the thugs' base, cruel behavior. The villagers called for an
immediate end to the unreasonable persecution of Falun Gong practitioners,
demanded the release of the practitioners and sought harsh punishment for the
murderers.
